Nanotechnology and Neuroscience Convergence: A Novel Tool for Neurotransmitters Monitoring

Since neurotransmitters significantly influence the brain activity, our understanding of the human brain will remain imperfect until all aspects relating to them become clear. One of the key challenges in neuroscience researches and therapies is elucidating the mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter release take place and is regulated in quantity and in time. Despite the enormous number of st...

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience – Résumé and Perspective

increasingly valuable, as they allow rapid generation of transgenic animals or targeted knockdowns and investigation of the systemic changes that result from targeted manipulation of neuronal activity (Kasuya et al., 2009; Tessier and Broadie, 2009; White and Peabody, 2009; Hirata et al., 2010). Molecular systems for monitoring ion flux across the neuronal plasma membrane as well as high-throug...

Event Abstract , Frontiers Journals, Science, Aging Neuroscience

From a cognitive viewpoint, there are several theories that distinguish two functions for retrieval of recent information. Recollection corresponds to the retrieval of information associated to the context of information encountering (time, place, circumstances, and possibly emotion and personal thoughts). Familiarity corresponds to the mere feeling of knowing the information without access to ...
